We had lots of fun doing this character from the Walt Disney film Aladdin. Always thought that this Jordanian beauty would pull it off splendid. And she did!

A little bit about the model. Nerjes Nana’s mother is from Amman in Jordan and father kurd from Iraq. They met in Sweden and Nerjes was born in Brunflo, Östersund on April 26 in 1997. After her parent’s divorced she moved to the U.S.A at the age of nine and attended school in Bakersfield, CA. After five years she moved to Jordan with her mother. Her mother is an arabic Muslim and always taught her about Islam, but the path of belief and practice was to be of her own choice. Neither Nerjes, her mother or sister wore a hijab. In fact Nerjes states that Jordan is a fairly liberal and a predominantly Muslim country. Some parts of Jordan are even Western and cosmopolitan. However, Jordanians have a deep respect for their King and Islam, and are conservative at the same time as they are liberal. After a few years Nerjes came back to Sweden and settled down in Stockholm and became a certified makeup artist.

This is about the time when I met Nerjes because she was in the same class in school as my daughter Adina. However her mother lived in another part of Sweden, so she stayed with us for longer periods of time. Telling us about her travels in the midle-east. One day we will have to travel with Nerjes to Jordan because through the ongoing troubles and conflicts of the neighbours Egypt and Syria, Jordan still enjoys a stable and peaceful environment to see. Petra, the historical rock-cut architecture and Wadi rum, the impressive red desert landscape and of course the Dead Sea. Just beautiful places and certainly on our To-Do list.

Oh, my God, is she really naked? Well, some say simplicity is the ultimate sophistication and people need to learn there is a difference between pornography and nudity. I took this explicit photo session with Adora Batbrat about two years ago. The full body photo on a rocking chair was featured in our Goth calendar for 2015. One photo was accepted on Facebook, no problem … Another one got me banned for 3 days though. I believe it was the second photo. Anyway, here is the whole serie of photos never shown before. It’s Halloween! Enjoy!

The band was started back in 1997 by drummer Daniel Hållams and bassist Martin Forssman who knew each other from school. The musical style of the band at that point in time was speed metal with clean vocals and only some elements of thrash. Music gradually turned more aggressive and is today considered Thrash Metal \m/

The mismatch in the historical aspect of the look is intentionally a mixture of the different centuries between the 1500s and 1700s. We don’t have to be so picky all the time ;) We did however still stay within the Marie-Antoinette field. The beautiful dress is made by model Victoria Lovelace.

”Dynasty releases a monster and mind-blowing record that includes sharp and clean guitars, amazing performances by Nils Molin, well-written songs, a big and ‘fat’ sound and plenty of melodies. But, most of all, Dynazty is a band that is not afraid to experiment and enrich its sound and that’s a thing that reflects in “Titanic Mass”

Neo-Baroque fashion – For this look you can’t go half heartedly. It’s about opulence, drama and ornate like gilded filigree and embroidery. Influences are from the renaissance era. Love it! This photo session with Adora Batbrat turned out to be quite ”hairy”. And actually first time I actually need to comb, braid and spray an outfit :)
